Hide Me In My Mask

I have a mask, you have one too
If you take it off, I'll do it too

If I have a dream to take it off
So do you

We hide our fears
We hide our tears

We put the mask to hide our
Lies in our eyes

I Am From.....

I am from the 510 were everyone goes dumb.

I am from Oakland were I stay at the Murder Dubb'z.

I am from the ghetto city were all you see is fights in the middle of the streets & all you hear is shots in the middle of the night & the 5-0 is everywhere trying to calm down every sight.

I am from a family that came from Mexico in a little place called Michuacan.

I am from a family that loves to cook delicious food like posole & tamales.

I am from a family that came from love & that's how it made me become who I am.

If I've Met You

For you, Samuel(grandfather), I would help you get up
in the mornings say good morning,

I would make you your eggs & bacon wit coffee &you'll
Turn on the t.v & watch favorite old movies of Vicente Fernandez,

You would tell me,"Llamale a tu abuelita." & I would say,"Okay."
Then you'll tell my abuela, "Vieja as me frijolitos pa comer."


Then you'll turn on your stereo & sing along with the Cd "Los Bukis"
After you are done with your Cd, you'll down on your old wood chair
& drink your wine to relax you.

Then you'll take me to bed & I say, "Buenas noches." Then you'll give
Me a kiss in the forehead & I would tell you, "See you tomarrow."
